Started with severe sore throat, fever. no strep, no antibiotics. both gone, white tongue, red spots, red looking throat remain, 18 days and counting?

Sore throat: You may have a viral infection, which would include acute mononucleosis, a viral infection which can present the way you describe. I would also consider rechecking for strep with a rapid strep test, but follow up with a throat culture if the rapid test is negative.
